Q:

Saw time HF Horizontal bandsaw

Here is a little clip of the Harbor Freight bandsaw I picked up. It is better quality then the last one I bought 8 years ago and is working like a champ.

My starret bimetal blade did break this weekend. Thank goodness I completed all the cutting on trigger guards and AR15 Grip adapters…Wheww..

Take a look. And yes the giant man talking is ME 😀

The film is showing it cutting through 3/4 x 1 1/2″ aluminum barstock.

Whoa,whoa,whoa,..stop cutting..no wonder the blade broke…you need to have your ADJUSTABLE blade guide as close to the work piece as possible..with it way up at the top like it is, its putting a bunch of unnecessary pressure on the blade..

I caught that the guard was up. I had just installed that blade and neglected to lower it once installed.

I run it down. But of course not on the video 🙄
